Not yet 90 days

I was trying to figure out when my day 90 point on the job is. I still have nearly another month. In some ways that's good, in some ways not so much. Good because I have not yet achieved 70 cases, which is the standard I must reach. Not so much because I want to request a schedule change as soon as I hit 90 days.

Radiator in the truck blew again. I'm so tired of working on this thing. Not much money on hand for another vehicle but I really need to get something which I can drive for at least 3 months without it breaking down. 

Logistics is still an issue. Think my best bet is to buy a cheap vehicle on CL, see if the seller will help me get it home (then drive them home). Failing that, get the keys and title from them. Leave the vehicle there, rent a uhaul and trailer, go back, tow it home. Or hire a tow truck. The only other option would be leap-frogging the vehicles home, which could take many hours if the vehicle is far away. Not fond of that one. 

Been looking for something smaller. However, I still need a truck. So maybe a larger vehicle will still have to do for now. Actually, that may be a better choice. Then when I find a smaller vehicle, I could use the large one to tow the small one. I'd prefer an open bed pickup but closed is all I can find at a decent price. 

Several projects in the works this week. Base for daughter's bed. Starting the solarium. (Which has to be done before freezing because of the concrete.) And, if enough wood left, adding another shelf in the pantry. Finishing daughter's floor will have to wait until this weekend, after I get paid.
